At which area did you inject it, was told just before the egr is best but Tim just says after the MAF sensor

@@jordanjjn I sprayed it direct into the EGR valve. Tbh, since then I’ve unbolted it and cleaned it right out. It’s easy to take off. This stuff would probably be good for maintenance to prevent it getting so bad again.

Good to know, can you remember which one you used? I feel a video coming. . . . . .

Sure, maybe you got your car out of limp mode, but how sure are you that you egr work and close probably? If you ever separated an egr valve and cleaned it, then you will know that any spray will never be enough if you want to do it properly. even if you disassemble it, it is not even always possible to make it work properly

Lol 😂

Jesus Christ, I bet your arse was twitching when that fell in. I feel like I should try a different brand (with straw) to see if I get better results.

for cars with turbine not so fine

and spend 200+

Diesel specialist?? 😂 It’s a DIY job that can be done by literally anyone

I could have but that wasn't really the point of the video.

How much more direct would you like it to be? If I had applied it the way the instructions recommend it would be even further away (they say to apply it at the air filter.) Also, not all EGR valves are as accessable as this one so if a particular vehicle has to apply according to the instructions my video would probably give false results. The product will be more concentrated when sprayed directly into the EGR when compared with at the air filter housing.

@@Papa77sGarage I'd disconnected the MAF sensor to avoid EGR operation during the clean. Then, I'd warmed up the engine and had removed the flexible pipe before the EGR valve. Finally, I'd applied the product directly in front of the EGR valve. I know this is something you cannot do in every car (because of the EGR location), but do it in the cars you can and share the results with us!

@@tozzi32 thanks for the advice but I aim to use the products as instructed and it doesn't mention disconnecting the air flow meter.

@@Papa77sGarage You're right, disconnecting the MAF is not mentioned in the user instruction. However, they are made for non proficient users (a non proficient user doesn't know what a MAF is or where it is located), a skilled user would disconnect the MAF. Why? because, as you know the EGR is opening and closing all the time, when you apply the product you're sending soot into the combustion chamber and this soot will be returning to the intake manifold by the EGR, so that means that you're getting dirt the EGR at the same time you're cleaning it. C'mon, try like this and you'll see very different results, you won't break any engine if you apply the product carefully and gently. Alternatively, you can remove the EGR from the engine, apply the product and brush the soot away.

@@tozzi32 if I wasn't doing an EGR delete I would have removed it already and cleaned it with plenty of carb cleaner. I prefer knowing the the part in question is as clean as possible before refitting and clearing any faults.

I think I've replaced one on a transit connect and it was rather expensive if my memory is correct. I'd like to find an effective cleaner as in theory it is a good idea. Hopefully you get sorted without reaching too deep into your pocket.

If you put the bottle of spray closer to the intake it will take more of, I've watched only videos saying the Italian tune doesn't work at all, there's other clears out there as well

Imagine if I'd done it from the air filter box as the instructions wanted me to. . . . . . . . It would have been a 10 mile journey through the intercooler and other pipework.

It wasn't a mile away, it was about 10 inches. If I'd followed the instructions on the can then it would have been a mile away as they said to take the lid of the air filter and spray it in there.

@@Papa77sGarage i get that but you see the excess spray you missed. If you did it like that the car would have sucked it all nor 1/4 of the can. You did it right i would but get it in the hole and do it. The product works if use it all not 1/4 of it and if two caked on you may need to do few tins. be easier to just do take EGR off in your case and use carb cleaner

I know, I wince every time I hear it.

@@Papa77sGarage It must create so much stress on the engine when squirting EGR cleaner and other stuff.

Thanks for the tip, might be another video. . . . . . .

@@Papa77sGarage or Mr mussel foam oven cleaner mate spray it in leave for a while jet it out buddy

It probably does a better job as well.

You have to remove the EGR valve to use it though. Not an easy job on all cars.

I failed the emission test, too much particulate due to the EGR being stuck open

High fuel consumption

Thanks, will give them a try 🤞

I'm not surprised, sounds like the same situation I was in.

I agree.

Maybe, but probably not.

From what I've seen, I would agree.

I know, it needs removing really and properly cleaning. I have other plans in the pipeline for this anyway.

@@MartynStubbsTBS if I didn't have other ideas for it I would be straight on eBay looking 👍

The issue is , people buy diesels to run short journeys. Diesels need to be driven like you have stolen them and go on long runs(40 mins plus )and least a few times a week, or get rid and buy a petrol..

I know that is the best way to do it but this product deserved a chance to show what it can or can't do.

@@Papa77sGarage THINK, you can't do a prober clean whit some spray

The spray might help in pipes / Area unaccessible… However, take the EGR off and clean… its easy

That seems to be the case for this one. I'm going to try others and see if there are any different results.

My thoughts exactly but people must be spending money on these products so I thought I'd give it a try.
